"This cute little city is worth a visit for at least few hours. It is situated near the mountain Velebit and its national park (experienced hikers could choose to visit mountain home Zavižan, natural landscapes as Hajdučki and Rožanski kukovi, Lukina jama, botanical garden) and the islands of Krk, Cres and Lošinj.
Accommodation is possible in hotels, private accommodations and camps, where the beautiful clear sea is not very far away. Beaches do not have many facilities except the most important - clear sea (Beaches are named Prva Draga, a peeble beach, beach Škver which is both peeble and flat, third is public city beach, there is possible to find cafe places, restaurants and a lot of music!
Heritage of interest is the fort named Nehaj, which is possible to visit above the city. In the city there is also a cathedral, city museum and beautiful promenade.
Gastronomy here is various as it combines the influences of mediterranean and continental cuisine.
There are small carnivals in winter time (January, February) and summer time (August). In July there is "The Klape singing Show", a type of authentic multipart singing included in the UNESCO non material heritage of Croatia.
Be aware that this city has strong winds because of its geographical position, which can block transport to and from the city. Be cautious to always check the weather forecast while in these part of the country. Once the strongest wind was measured at 59 m/s or 212 km/h.
Except the wind, this cute place is worth giving a visit at least for a few hours or one swim below the mountain Velebit! "
